After spending years in different aviation training environments, it is clear that not all programs offer consistency. Often times different students, even at the same school, will have completely different experiences when it comes to their ground instruction, their CFI’s availability, and their personal success.

My philosophy is that sound aviation knowledge all begins with a strong understanding of the fundamentals, many of which are often overlooked, brushed over, or become rusty over time. I do not try to “throw students into the deep end.” Rather, I start with what a student understands, and build new concepts on this foundation.

I also make it my focus to instruct beyond the minimum knowledge areas needed to pass a checkride. I want every pilot to be prepared for the expected portion of their flights, as well as the unexpected, and to be safe.
